Yes, it rains in the U.K., and as everyone around the globe knows, Burberry’s exponentially increasing fortunes spring from Christopher Bailey’s manipulation of trench-coat iconography.

So it’s hard to criticize a formula that is clearly successful, absolutely recognizable, and unwavering in its continuity. Bailey tagged his resort collection “sensual strictness,” but compared to other pre-collections, there’s actually more of a casual air about the reworkings of house tailoring, like his taupe-and-ivory seersucker pantsuit, paper-bag–waisted trousers coordinated with “Prorsum” print T-shirts, knits with swooped necklines, and the house’s signature shrunken motorcycle jackets. At the young end, there are cute printed shorts (actually boxers, adapted from the men’s collection) and at the slightly more mature end, pencil skirts. The trench, though, gets its moment of glory moment, upgraded to a light gold lamé.

The fashion addict

Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Lady Nini is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season pieces is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself.
Beauty is the most important thing to her, as well as feeling sexy, feminine and confortable. Sparkles and diamonds are a passion and make part of her lifestyle. More than being fashionable, it’s a way of thinking and seeing the world with the joy, fun and enthusiasm that she brings into her everyday life. And this is a theory that she works into her writing. Fashion is a fantasy to be lived!
